You may be wondered that how can Virender Sehwag’s curse denies AB de Villiers double? But it occurred and Sehwag himself admits it.

AB de Villiers has been out of the game for some time but one can never take out the game from him as he wielded his willow wildly against Bangladesh on Wednesday to show what he is capable of doing. His brutal knock made Bangladesh bowlers chasing the leather for quite a time.
